ASSINGTON MILL
ASSINGTON, NEAR SUDBURY, SUFFOLK
Via the A12: from London, take the first turning off to Colchester, then follow signs to the A134 to Sudbury. Continue for some five miles. When you see the white water tower on top of the hill, after the turning to Nayland, look out for signs to Assington village, on the left. Continue down the main street, past the pub, past the farm shop. When you reach the garage, slow down and do not take either of the sharp bends left or right to Stoke and Bures. Instead, take the dirt track which is the continuation of the main street. Assington Mill is half a mile down there. Beware of traffic calming potholes!
Via the M11, A120: Follow signs to Colchester. Once past Coggeshall, look out for the Marks Tey village sign. Take the road soon after that to Great Tey and Chappel going north. Continue through Great Tey, straight across the A604, through Chappel towards Bures. At the T-junction at the bottom of the hill, turn left in the direction of Sudbury. In Bures, cross the river, church on the right, turn left up the main street, then fork right at the top of the street to Assington, which is about three miles away. Once you come to the Assington village sign, take the dirt track almost immediately on your right. We are half a mile down there.
Alternatively, if you ring 01206 577777 when you pass Marks Tey station, a taxi will pick you up and take you to Assington for £17. This is cheaper than getting a normal cab from outside the station. We would be happy to take you back to the station at the end of the day, but not at the beginning as there is too much to do!
